Rezultati upućuju da je 70-80% intervjuiranih menadžera spremno povećati iznose za razne aktivnosti koje vode ka poboljšanju sigurnosti i zdravlja u njihovim tvrtkama.A study on willingness-to-pay of company executives for occupational safety and health (OSH) has been undertaken as an attempt to specify whether and how much, company executives value the health and safety of company workers.
